Summary
Description
This data set contains data for Area Contingency Plan (ACP) sensitive sites in Southern California. Vector points in this data set represent sites identified as sensitive for biological and/or human-use resources that should be prioritized for protection during spill response activities. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Southern California. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
